Wahsatch Ave., Colorado Springs, 80903 -- as well as our construction site at The Ridge at Sand Creek, 868 Bidwell Dr.
Anyone is welcome to sign the doors with memories, prayers, and words of thanks. No political comments, please. After the signings conclude, the doors will be sealed and permanently displayed at each location.

Announcing the Paul Johnson Memorial Build
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity is saddened by the passing of Paul Johnson, who served as the affiliate's executive director from 1997 until his retirement in 2014. Under his leadership, Pikes Peak Habitat launched our first ReStore at 411 S. Wahsatch Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903, 20 years ago. Proceeds from that store, along with a second Pikes Peak Habitat ReStore -- which opened at 6250 Tutt Blvd., Colorado Springs, 80923, in 2022 -- have contributed to the construction of 128 homes in El Paso County. He also spearheaded the development of two neighborhood communities: Woodmen Vistas in Colorado Springs, where Pikes Peak Habitat built 37 homes, and Country Living in Fountain, with 34.
Pikes Peak Habitat opened in 1986 and had built 25 houses when Johnson assumed leadership. The spring he retired, the affiliate dedicated its 125th -- and Johnson's 100th -- home.
We're excited to continue his legacy through the Paul Johnson Memorial Build, a home where Tamara, a childcare teacher, will live with her family.
